The clip – clearly intended for the eyes of marketing teams rather than consumers – outlines the ethos behind the upcoming racer, detailing the philosophy behind its visual style and some of the techniques that British developer Evolution Studios is employing to realise its vision. These include very specific effects, such as desaturation and film grain noise.

In one slide, the company points out that emulating imperfections is actually a pivotal part of its approach with the game. “Deliberately moving the camera too fast, adding smears and motion to the footage is incredibly powerful and can help add excitement,” it explained. The firm’s also attempted to mimic sports cameras to give the release a more authentic look.

I'm glad the publisher Sony gives there developers time to finish a game, unlike EA hence why BF4 was a mess. And BF4 SP is still unfixed crashes, save data which doesn't work half the time meaning you'll have to start again, collectables which don't show as being collected, and the list goes on.

Seven months is a bit ridiculous. There's no way this game was going to be a launch title and it shouldn't have been advertised as such, that's the entire issue. It's clear this game was a mess and the final product probably won't be anything more than mediocre. It looks nice sure, but looks aren't everything.

As bad as all the PS4 game delays are (Im assuming TLG is PS4 at this point) it's better than waiting around for a Nintendo Direct to hopefully announce some games to wait for. (And waiting for games like W_D to be canceled on the Wii U.) X and Bayonetta 2 are only going to keep me occupied for so long. I feel like Squeenix has games coming out for the next 10 years. 20 years if you count an FF7 remake.
